Erased

Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)



Enraptured

by the days
when first we met

i continue to believe
you kept me close Beside you

somehow Despite the madness
Through the sadness and the misery

By your sense of commitment
The intensity of Your interest

in everything you do

The easy way which you display
loving energy

How you make me feel

When we take quiet walks
To anywhere or nowhere

As we gaze
Into each other’s eyes

For brief everlasting moments
Whenever we are together

And if we ever do
What we profess to urgently desire

Not just sit and talk of our intentions

It will become a part of me

the memory
which Can never

be erased
